Dalvey won this a year ago from exactly the same mark though he had a 7lb claimer on board. Hale Bopp had no problems landing a claimer last month though has moved yards but Vina Sena, who made a winning debut here a year ago, was racing in much better company during the summer and looked on the way back to form at Navan in October. RIVER RAIN is making her handicap debut and dropping in trip after landing a 1m4f maiden last month. She's 3lb out of the handicap but a 10lb claimer has been booked and she can go in again. Cozone's recent course victory was over 2m and he hasn't run over a trip this short since May last year.
